I'm learning more and more about my cameras, picking up little tricks to make them work that much better. Still they can be frustrating. My Sanyo can be set to a timer delay, but the button is very touchy and has to be pressed just right to start it. For these pictures I set it to take bursts of 3; if I didn't get into position in time for the first, I'd at least get two good ones out of each time. This also was great for creating some animations, though working outside could mean some shifting light due to the clouds.

These pictures were taken on the grounds around the Haish Memorial Library in DeKalb, Illinois. These were taken in front of the window on the eastern side. Featured are my new Steampunk Stetson ( [link] ), first Cthulhu War Medal ( [link] ), Black Crystal Choker (worn as an accent at the throat beneath the collar) ( [link] ), and Green Goggles ( [link] ).

I liked how this tree was captured in reflection in this large window on the eastern side of the Haish Memorial Library in DeKalb.
